Beautiful South Foundations Lyrics

Foundations Lyrics

Build your dream castle out of sand
It's bound to get washed up
anyway
Dream your dreams out of last week
They're bound to have come up
yesterday
If you want to give them flowers
Make them paper ones you
send
Live your life a jigsaw
It goes back in the box, in the end
Build
your dream heart from plasticine
'Cause you're putty in their hands
Mould
your ambition in concrete
Cause you'll only land in quicksand
Carve your
dough from play-dough
'Cause they'll roll you into a ball
Make your
friends from Lego
Cause Lego makes a wall
'Cause when you build big
houses
The paintings get stolen
The devil says he's silver
When you
know that he is golden
When papier mache heads make more sense than the
sun
Giving teacher apples could be fun or dumb
Build your planes from
Airfix
'Cause you'll only lose the war
Write your love letters on rice
paper
At least you'll feed the poor
Build your dream castle out of
sand
It's bound to get washed up anyway
Dream your dreams out of last
week
They're bound to have come up yesterday
